Motivated by the abundant cultural heritage of his homeland, Claude Nizeyimana, a 25-year-old sculptor, launched a project called 'Ingoma100' last year, aiming to blend the realms of art and nature.
Ingoma100,’ meaning ‘100 Drums,’ involves collaboration with
various artists to plant trees in different parts of the country.

Commenting on the importance of this name, Nizeyimana stated,
"In our country, the drum has a dual role, acting as both a musical
instrument and a cultural symbol. Made from wood, it captures the essence of
our culture and the echo of our traditions.
He added: "In our culture, we perceive the number 100 as representing infinity. Just as trees symbolize life's continuity, 'Ingoma100' embodies the concept of a perpetual kingdom, where the bond between nature and humanity endures indefinitely.
